Rams React to Puka Nacua Career Announcement on Thursday

The 25-year-old has added his name to the list of eccentric receivers throughout NFL history, such as Michael Irvin and Antonio Brown. Recently, the Orem High School graduate received positive offseason news, coming in at No. 7 in the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026.

Nacua came in at No. 41 for the 2025 season after exploding onto the scene as a rookie and ranking at No. 33 for 2024. The rest of the Rams on the list for 2026 are as follows:

• No. 89 – Kyren Williams, running back
• No. 84 – Byron Young, linebacker
• No. 53 – Davante Adams, wide receiver
• No. 35 – Jared Verse, defensive end (TRADED)
• No. 7 – Puka Nacua, wide receiver

Los Angeles has two players on its roster still expected to be on the list for the rest of the Top 6, with quarterback Stafford and defensive tackle Myles Garrett, who was recently acquired from the Cleveland Browns.

“Powerful Puka on the list ,” Los Angeles wrote on Instagram.
